what I'm making right now...

I love the aromas of this time of year. I can't get enough of the pine, the cranberry, the mint and the cinnamon. And then there's that wonderful thing call allspice. It is yumminess ground up and packaged for greatness. Add it to your recipe and you have a classic. Well, I guess a little technique and imagination do help the process along, but when you want to get the taste of Christmas in your mouth, reach for this cake. Presentation is everything, so I punched out the servings in discs to be extra special, too.

The cake is dense like a pound cake, but spongy and full of texture and even has some crunch. Buttermilk makes it especially nice, and the glaze? Oh, you can pour that on me now!

Meet the Cook...

My name is Camine Pappas and I love to create beautiful and delicious food that anyone can make. My signature style centers around a love for combining things in a way you might not expect as I work to find a hidden combination of colors, textures and flavors from the things that are in my pantry and/or easy to obtain.

Want to get spontaneous with me? It's pretty exciting. Let's all find out what happens when, "I Feel Like Cooking."
